Wolf Management in Colorado with Aron Snyder

Show Notes:

In about a year, Howl for Wildlife grew to over 20,000 members and we’re helping hunters have a voice. Almost every action we’ve been involved in has either progressed forward or was a win for hunting. It’s a powerful tool to connect hunters with decision-makers and it’s really had a positive impact. Aron Snyder is the president of Kifaru International, a company that makes some of the best hiking and hunting gear available. Here, we talk about something that’s near and dear to Aron’s heart: the wolf issue in Colorado. 

Back in 2020, proposition 114 was on the ballot for Colorado to reintroduce wolves. 50.9% of the votes were in favor of the decision, meaning we lost by just a little. Hunters don’t often want to get involved in things that don’t directly impact them, but if everyone took a stand, we’d get a lot more done in our favor. There are over 16 million hunters in the US and in the age of social media and the internet, we’re more in the know than ever. Colorado alone has over a million hunters and if they all stood up against the proposition, we’d likely be in a much different situation than we are today.

Proposition 114 states that 250 wolves will be transplanted by the end of 2023. The Colorado parks and wildlife commission has to create and carry out plans to reintroduce and manage the wolves. We need the commission to know which parts of the plan we support and get it in place before they potentially get non-hunters on the board. Aron and I talk about the details of the plan and how hunters can get involved. The easiest thing to do is head to the Howl for Wildlife website. Click on the Action Center and enter your name and email in the wolf management plan action and hit send. We also talk about other hot topics in the hunting world, which you can also check out on HowlforWildlife.org.
